@ayjay Congratulations!
@dswanson Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures from your sabbatical.
@ayjay Yes, this has been one of my great disappointments of shifting my blog over to Substack.
@dswanson Beatiful! Enjoy yourselves.
@ayjay That is a fascinating idea, Alan. I have never thought about having a notebook just for brief movie reflections. I love the freedom of just writing a brief paragraph of thoughts on a film, without having to do an extended analysis. Thank you for sharing.
@KyleEssary Wow! That’s a lot. Congratulations on your son’s wedding.
@ayjay That’s amazing. What a gift to hear from him!
@ablerism You’re welcome!
@frjonjordan I’ve never been to that spot but have have similarly in other ancient spaces. I’m so glad you can enjoy this experience.
@frjonjordan What a wonderful gift. Thank you for sharing this photo.
@ReaderJohn This was too tricky and put things as opposites that I didn’t feel like needed to be opposites. I also questioned Manny of the ways the questions were phrased, which is what I think you were getting at. I guess that’s what happens with taxonomies like this.
@drwalt Probably, but I was just offering a general list that could fit either option. What do you think?
@drwalt Great question. Although I might rephrase the question to “most influential” or “most significant” mystics since the Reformation, if we use the date 1517 for the Reformation, I think we could suggest the following: Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Blaise Pascal, Madame Guyon, George Fox, Evelyn Underhill, Archimandrite Sophrony, Howard Thurman, and more.
@JohnBrady That was what I was thinking too. I also wondered if they meant in the English-speaking world.
@ayjay I can’t wait to read it. I’ve gifted Austin’s books to my kids over the years and hope to pick this one up for one of them soon. I only wish he were coming through Milwaukee again!
@ablerism I imagine you would love it. This seemed like one of Wenders’ best documentary works, IMHO.
@KyleEssary Thank God!
@cjhubbs I couldn’t agree more.
@bbowman It was well worth the read!
@aemiliana Thanks for that recommendation. I look forward to hearing any others you might suggest.
@bbowman I’m glad you’re reading it now. Share your thoughts. I”m interested to see how it interacts with Rosen’s book, which I haven’t read yet.
@ayjay It’s terrifying to consider where that trend line for data center spending is headed.
@dswanson Thanks, David. I know it touches on interests we both have!
@ayjay I needed that. So funny.
@eastbrad A good find, especially for pilgrims!
